Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1270387A1] A method of assembling a vehicle body (1) includes a step of positioning a pair of front side members (8) so that a span (S1) between the front side members is adjusted at a first design span, a step of connecting a pair of hood-ledge reinforcements (9c) with hood ledges (9) fixed to the front side members, respectively, while keeping the first design span, so that a span (S2) between each hood-ledge reinforcement and each front side member is substantially equal to a second design span; a step of positioning again the front side members connected to the hood-ledge reinforcements so that the span between the front side members is adjusted at the first design span; and a step of attaching a front-end module (4) to the vehicle body while keeping the first design span. <IMAGE>
